For the second year, Woodstock Cuba Saddle Club (WCSC) held a Royalty show for their Queen and Princess contestants, while members elected the Buckaroo Princess.
WCSC Members saw the largest turn out in several years for the Buckaroo Princess, as eight girls (all age 8 & under) tried out at the annual Membership Drive on March 5,2016. Members voted Kaylee Wooten as the 2016 Buckaroo Princess.
The Royalty Show was held April 10, 2016 with four girls competing for the title of Princess and five girls competing for the title of Queen. They were judged on a horsemanship pattern, followed by a horsemanship interview, then a one on one interview with the judges. They were scored on personality and appearance. They finished the show with a test on the WCSC Rule Book and knowledge of parts of the saddle and the horse. The judges were former Miss Rodeo VA and Miss TN HS Rodeo Queen Tricia Satkowski and SusanHudgins, mother of Former Miss Rodeo TN Nacona Allen Clowes. The winners were Alea Munoz, 2016 Princess and Taylor Cohen, 2016 Queen.
Woodstock Cuba Saddle Club shows every Friday night (weather permitting) at 7:30 pm. For more information about WCSC, please contact President John Morgan 901-412-0327 or Vice President Pam Farris, 901-409-2485. You can also follow WCSC on Facebook or visit their website http://www.mywcsc.com
